12 day Safari Retreat
6th – 17th March 2025
Only 5 places left out of the 11 available!
Open your hearts in nature, feel the connection, feel the wonder, be in awe of the expansive blue skies, abundant fertile lands and deep turquoise oceans. Hosted, guided and supported you will experience conscious, up close and deeply moving encounters with herds of wild elephants, swim with pods of wild dolphins, meet giraffes and zebras through the early dawn mists, immerse and marvel in the underwater world of coral reefs… wander freely along expansive deserted beaches…. and witness the flow of life in the bush with lions, leopards, wildebeest and rhino, gifting you that infinite life changing moment of connection.
A celebration of presence, as we reconnect with our hearts, nature and each other.
Welcome to Conscious Unity with Sally Claridge & Courtney Ward.
Tembre Elephant Reserve
WHERE THE GIANTS ROAM…
Staying in elegant ensuite tented decked cabins within the 200km of wild reserve, we will enjoy early morning and late afternoon drives into the bush and immerse in the flow of life under the African sun. With deeply moving, up close encounters with wild herds of elephants, giraffes, lions, wildebeest and maybe even glimpses of the rarely seen leopard and rhino this is a unique opportunity to be in the wild, with wildlife. Dedicated, experienced local guides and drivers share their love and knowledge of flora and fauna and the staff welcome you into the Tembe family. This unique Safari lodge offers you an intimate connection with nature, African culture and wildlife. Tembe is for the discerning visitor who wants a genuine, authentic experience of Africa, away from the usual tourist routes and crowds while still having the opportunity to see the Big Five.

Ponta Malongane
Where the wild dolphins await…
Staying in a private luxury villa estate on 7km of deserted expansive, sandy beach, we launch out onto the ocean, early in the mornings, opening our hearts to call in the pods of wild bottlenose dolphins to experience the connection that goes beyond words. Interacting, observing, swimming and feeling their incredible presence through our emotions and body. The freedom and exhilaration of being out on the ocean is heightened as rainbows appear in the surf’s spray against the backdrop of the thick green coastal forest. With the ocean a balmy average temperature of 25 degrees with amazing visibility, there’s the added bonus of ocean safari snorkelling over the coral reefs, as we immerse in the unseen magic beneath the surface. Green back turtles sun bathe on the surface with loggerhead & leatherback turtles and humpback whales being the migratory visitors.
All dolphin encounters are fully on the dolphins’ terms and nature’s conditions and fully supported by experienced skippers and crew. There is a strict ‘one boat’ code for open ocean dolphin encounters, so any swims will always be an intimate experience with our group only.

“If you love animals, wildlife and dolphins then this holiday will fulfill all your dreams. I went just for those reasons but gained so much more with all the relaxation, meditation and sound journey experiences with a lovely group of people I opened up my heart, rid myself of pent up emotions and by the end felt I’d had a complete rest and reset.”
